Straight A's Are Not Enough: Learning With Your Brain Turned On - Paperback

by Judy Fishel (Author)

MAKING GOOD GRADES - EVEN STRAIGHT A'S - is a fine goal if that's what you want or need, but too many students memorize facts, do well on exams, and then seem to forget everything. What a terrible waste of time, effort and money.

The goal of this book is to encourage students to

• CHOOSE DEEP UNDERSTANDING AND LASTING MEMORY
• CHOOSE A GREAT EDUCATION
• CHOOSE LEARNING

In this book, Students will discover

• What it means to Study
• Powerful Research-based Learning Strategies
• How to become a Critical Thinker
• How to Change Your Brain with Concentration
• A Flexible Time Management System
• A New Approach to Reading
• Taking Notes You'll Want to Study
• How to Write More Effectively
• Strategies for Long-lasting Memory
• How to get a GREAT Life-Changing Education
• How to Learn with you Brain Turned ON

The second edition of Straight A's Are NOT Enough is shorter, easier to read and understand, puts a greater focus on Critical Thinking, and introduces the concept of Learning With Your Brain Turned ON.

Many parents including the author have said "I wish I could have read this book when I was in school." We remember and understand the system of memorizing information, passing the test, and soon forgetting everything. We want our children to get more than that - to get a GREAT Education.

This book will be helpful for

• high school students planning to attend college or already taking college courses.
• College freshmen or other students wanting to improve their study skills.
• Learners of all ages who want to understand how to learn more effectively.
